DYSPEPSIA

Makes the lives OF many people miserable,
and often leads 10 self-destruction. We know
OF no remedy for dyspepsia more successful
than Hoods Sarsaparilla. 1t acts gently, yet
surely and efficiently, tones the stomach and
other organs, removes the faint feeling,
creates a good appetite, cures headache, and
refreshes the burdened mind. Give Hoods
Sarsaparilla fair trial. 1t Will do you good

THERE is but little doubt that if the
present indications count for anything
President Cleveland will be renomina-
ted with practical unanimity. So far
as we have observed the democrats of
Kansas will be glad to endorse the pres
ident and his policy by sending a dele
CATION favorable to him next year.
While the president has made some
blunders in his appointments as the
democrats are willing to admit, yet
they feel perfectly assured that he was
not to blame and his earnest desire has
been to give us good and acceptable
officials

ONE of the things which help to
bring the gray hairs of the editor in
sorrow to the grave, and enforces most
emphatically upon his memory the
fact that all is not sunfowers that is
''yaller," is to pick up an exchange and
find his choicest bits of humor, OF most
telling editorial upon some local affair
reproduced in said exchange as origi-
nal matter. The Finney County De,,aO-
crat and Arkansas Valley Democrat are
two publications which we notice have
Systematically robbed this paper with
out the first hint of a ''thank you.'
The publishers of these two papers
ought to know better, and if they
don't, this may serve to give them a
hint as to what is the proper thing to
do.

THE war dance which is now going
on among the republican office seekers
of this county is like that witnessed by
Tam O'Shanter, it grows ''fast and fu-
rious.'' But there is a marked disslm1-
larity in another respect. While Tam
was the only spectator to witness that
celebrated meeting of warlocks and
witches, the whole county of Barton
are witnesses of this affair. To say
that the whole affair is amusing is put
ting it very mildly. The candidates go
in focks and it is no use trying to num-
Der them for each day brings new ac-
cessions to their ranks and it is now
an open question, which are more nu-
merous, republican Office seekers OF re-
publican voters -? After this present
exhibition let no republican shake his
CORY finger at a democrat and say:
"Your party are only after the loaves
and fishes"

House Breaking.
to build.


Some miscreant attempted to break
into the residence of Geo. n. Moses
on Monday evening last, between
s and 9 o'clock. Mrs. Moses had been
to neighbours and had just returned
and gone into the house with little
Bessie and a servant girl, locking the
front door. Some one came to the
door and tried to open it, and when
asked who was there would not re-
spond but still tried to open the door.
The women ran up stairs, when the
fellow climbed upon the front porch
and attempted to get through the win
DOTS. The women again ran down
stairs and going to a back window
cried for help. About this time Mr..
Moses came home and Messrs. Rich
ards and Caraway appeared on the
scene. It is presumed the attempt
ing burglar was frightened away on
the first cry of alarm.

ROGER Q. MILLS of Texas aspires to
be leader of the democratic house of
representatives in the next meeting of
congress, in the absence of the great
tariff reformer, Morrison, of Illinois.
Those who have watched the course of
Mr.. Mills, and his position on the lead
ngpolitical questions will be satisfied
with such a leader. OF course we as
sumo Mr.. Carlisle will be elected speak
er. But should he not, which is entire
ly improbable, of course the leadership
would 90 to the distinguished Texan.
Mr.. Mills is perfectly in accord
with Carlisle and the great majority of
his party on the tariff question, he is an
able and conservative leader and in his
elevation there is no danger to the
party.

THE thrift and indomitable courage
and determination of Kansas people is
the very foundation stone of our sue
cess. We have few idlers in our land;
few men who do not make the most of
the opportunities afforded them. To-
day there are few people idle in the
whole county. The farmer arises early
and starts the pillow, and if perchance
he has business in town, he does not
tarry long before the counters, but gets
what he wants and hurries back to the
pillow or the drill. There never has
been better season for fall seeding.

THIS is the last issue OF the DEMo-
Graf before the delegates to the demo-
cratic county convention shall be chos-
en-. and we deem it not impertinent to
offer some suggestions to the democrats
in the various townships in regard 10
the matter. A nominating convention
in order to command the respect OF the
people mnst be composed of good men.
convention that is controlled by
tricksters and wire-pullers can never
represent the great body of democratic
voters in this county. 1t is therefore
the duty of every good democrat TO at
tend his primary and aid in securing
good and representative delegation.
Another serious mistake which is too
often made by primaries is in trying 10
secure a delegation which shall be per-
sonally friendly to some particular can
didate. In doing this they often Sc
cure a delegation which although 1t
NAV represent their wishes in regard
to one candidate may mlsrepresent
them throughout the remainder Of the
ticket. The first thing with each prl-
mary should be to name sound and in
fiuentiaI democrats-men in whom they
can repose cofidence. After this If
they wish to instruct their delegates
for any particular candidate let them
do so, and certainly if they select the
kind of men we have suggested their
wishes will be regarded.

Horses Stolen.

There have been stolen in this
county within the last ten days three
very fine mares. G. III. WadswOrth
lost one and Dan Ausha two. The
people of this county should form a
protective association and in some
way guard against their stock being
stolen. Every farmer should be on

out for them and call meeting at

INDIAN summer will soon be here.
a mystic, smoky haze will gather in
the west, and our lungs will fill with
the redolent air that is waited over
fields of new-mown hay and ripening
grain. The white-breasted brants will
be flying to the south and the heavy
dews of the morning will deaden the
sound of rustling leaves. Like the
tired child, which has played the long,
bright day i'll all the fullnesS of inno-
cent mirth, all vegetation will rest
with seeming knowledge of full COM
pletion; and anon, the biting frOsts
will turn the leaves and shrivel the
waving blades of grass, and the
crickets will cherrup no more until the
budding spring.
